THE FUNDAMENTAL RESEARCH FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF CONCRETE FLOOR SLAB FINISHING ROBOT

Abstract

This paper describes preliminary surveys and fundamental experiments for the development of concrete floor slab finishing robot. The auther discusses the unique development procedure and notes the importance of setting proper development target. An analysis of working hours is presented as an example of one such survey, together with details on robot task allocation and function setting. Data for robot design was obtained from experiments on the selection of finishing tools suitable for robot, and on the dimensions and weight of locomotion equipment capable of traveling over green concrete.
